    I was going to post that Green already was an efficient scorer then the last 2 games happened.

    He could be so much better with a system designed to allow him open looks.

    According to Bball ref it's 51.7% ts.

    Also this has to be pointed out when comparing scoring efficiency between a player like Jabari and a player like Green:

    Jabari Smith 25.7% unassisted rate for fgm

    Jalen Green 60% unassisted rate for fgm

    KPJ 73% unassisted rate for fgm

    Are we asking if a 2nd year 20 year old guard who's having a rough shooting stretch will ever be efficient?

    Oh and if you suggesting it's that low for Jabari because he's a rookie,. Green was a 46% at this time of his rookie year.

    That kinda shows how small the sample size is and how you g their careers are if two games turns someone from potentially a efficient scorer in his prime to a inefficient chucker.

    It’s 51.7% today. But that’s not what it was in that tweet. Look at the dates first of clutch’s tweet which was 10 days ago

    Okay?
    My point anyways was that Jabari scores in a completely different manner than the other two in the sense he's very reliant on a teammate to feed him to score unlike the other two.

    This is an experiment, if it works we are golden, if it doesn't we move on from one of the two.

    Who knows is the answer.

    Correcting a quote 10 days ago by clutch wasn’t necessary. Obviously jabari scores differently right now. Pretty sure clutch knows that

    I wouldn't do a direct comparison of their scoring efficiency then if I knew they scored in completely different ways. It's like making anything out of Clint Cappella having a higher ts% than Harden.

    Not really. The entire point of clutch’s post was to highlight Jabari’s turnaround and his progress

    I would just post his progress rather than comparing them to two guys who have to generate the vast majority of their own offense because we know Jabari isn't going to do that for because he just can't at the moment.

    Green definitely can. KPJ most likely won't until he moves into an off-ball role.

    Jalen is still figuring out how to size up defenses, what he can't do and what he can do. He's a second year player that is probably the single most feared player on our time by a mile. It's too early to write him off and still a little too early to say he definitely will.

    KPj is in his 4th year and 3rd year of being the lead guard on a team. I don't know what else needs to be said about him.

    Why is it that Harden has the season with the most turnovers EVER - all time yet he has elite court vision? In fact he has the number 1, 3, and 5 worst turnover seasons of all time.

    KPJ is leading this year and is a scrub....

    Fans are weird.
